Hello there,
I am looking forward to a Lempeh trip in a couple of weeks and I bought myself 2 Inon 165 lenses in order to work a bit more on my macro skills. I have read about the difficulty of focusing with 2 lenses stuck up but after doing a few tests above water this looks just impossible. There was no chance in hell the camera would focus using autofocus. I didn't try to use manual focus but it didn't seem an easy task either and having to do that underwater would be even more difficult. Even if you spend a while trying to get the focus right manually I doubt you will know whether your shot was in focus or not until you are above water.
Is this actually how this is supposed to work or am I missing something here? I.e. using two stuck up lenses with autofocus will never work and it has to be manual focusing only?
I have no issues focusing with one lenses and the results actually look pretty good. Maybe I am asking two much from my G-11 and I believe that I will be more than happy with the results of just one macro lense but I would be keen to go the extra step even this isn't much of a difference as shown here: INON Close-up Lens UCL-165M67 [Overview].7
thanks
